Chapter 33: Out By the Water, Troubling News.
A little while after our conversation finished Shimada left to go to bed, leaving me here with my thoughts once more. I don't think it'd be the worst to tell them more about my past but I don't know if anyone would believe it.

Crickets, owls, and a few other small creatures can be heard as Artemis sits there looking out at the lake.
I like how peaceful it is out here at least, but I do miss some things about my old world that I'll never have here. Video games were a fun way to pass time and this world is nowhere near that kind of technology.
But they also have things that my world didn't have, like magic and a bunch of different species. At least that's what I read about when I was younger.
I want to see everything this world has to offer so it's good that we have to hunt down all these damn followers. It gives me a purpose in this world, something that I can actually pursue.

Having to do take someone's life isn't easy for me but yet it feels like I'm getting used to it, that terrifies me. I feel the moment I stop caring about it is when I'm no longer a good person.
This world doesn't have any real heroes in it so maybe I can step up to become that hero one day.
